Nice try. the problem was GWB didnt sell the public on a humanitarian mission, he sold them on WMDs and “Mushroom Clouds” .

Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner!

I supported the war with Iraq as a high-school student in 2002 and 2003 on the grounds that Iraq's government was developing "weapons of mass destruction," or WMDs, in violation of U.N. resolutions to which the U.S. was a party.

Of course, after the aforementioned WMDs were not found (aside from a stock of yellowcake uranium), the Bush administration and the hawks changed their tune and said that we were in Iraq for humanitarian and "national security" purposes. [Any time a government official plays the "national security" card, chances are good that they just don't want to tell you the real reasons and that they think you'll believe their horse puckey.]

GWB left office with combat troops in two countries. It’s not like his invasions won the WOT and all the troops come home and we get that peace dividend, like with Reagan. Reagan truly was a winner, and we didnt have invade the USSR either.
